Barbie: Several characters appear designed more to tick diversity boxes and represent political symbols than to serve the narrative organically, which disrupts character depth and coherence.
Nimona: The shape-shifting teen protagonist is written with a strong focus on representing nonconformity and queer identity, which feels central to the narrative rather than incidental.
